Fantasy Tour de France - It's live!!!

[Noodley]

More stats - number of picks for each climber:

Carlos SASTRE 30
David MONCOUTIE 28

Mikel ASTARLOZA 9

I would have thought Astarloza would have been further up the list than that

Sorensen third favourite choice?

Is that where the skill lies, choosing stage winners and climbers from the Domestiques. I should have chosen Cancellara instead of Pereiro, but thought that he had missed the Giro, and forgot he was in the Tour de Suisse (and won it - how did I miss that)

Choosing Pereiro was Crackle's fault.

You've been spying on my no hopers team. Cancellera let me down in the Giro. I've not forgiven him yet.

 

[Speicher]

I could not decide between Pereiro and Kirchen. When I saw that you had chosen Periero, I thought you might have decided he was fit after his fall last year.

I have got myself in a jumble up - did Cancellara drop out of the Giro to concentrate on the Tour de Suisse?

Weeeeeeeellllllllllllll.........he only broke his arm. He doesn't have a great record in the Tour actually.

He Tour record is 'okay'. His Tour victory came about due to a complete cock-up by the main GC contender teams and he took good advantage of it. He has also had some other decent Tour performances. He does seem to have gone 'off the boil' in the past couple of years.

Won the overall Combativity prize in 2005 IIRC.

That's what I said, not a great record, sheesh.

No, you said that he rode like a one legged camel, had breath like a student toilet and a willy that wouldn't satisfy a desperate lady mouse after a night out on the WKD.

You did say that, didn't you?

That's it, I'm not giving interviews to you anymore.

 

[Noodley]

I didn't day his record was not great.

His record is, IMO, under-rated. Maybe I should have said 'good' rather than 'okay'

His victory was a great example of taking advantage of a situation, and I was surprised he was allowed to escape as his previous record had been good.

But he has 'gone off the boil'...

Bit like Menchov? Popovytch is riding well again don't you think?
that should get Crackle going...

[CotterPin]

As suspected, now we are in the mountains, I am taking a tumble. Ah well. Moment of glory.

 

[Speicher]

Second for me today, with Pellizotti, should take me off the bottom of the mini-league, for the second time.
